MEIDÄN Ourcity ry – Y-tunnus 2429862-2
MEIDÄN Ourcity ry is a non-profit association founded by seven like-minded individuals from different cultural backgrounds. The purpose of this association is to co-ordinate the OURCity project, which for the Helsinki design capital year 2012 aims through various media to promote Meri-Rastila as an open, diverse and vibrant suburb.

The OURCITY project consists of three sub-programs which share this objective but attempts to tackle it in their own way; OURColours through Fashion and Everyday dress, OURCourse through Education and Information and OUTReach through Inter-cultural Dialogue and Community Engagement.

The team coordinating each program is different but members share their skills across all of the programs. Those involved include architects and city planners, an interaction designer, a university researcher, and experienced community work specialists.
